Small Molecule X-ray Crystallography
Overview
Lisbon Small Molecule Crystallography Service is an analytical service that involves a close collaboration between three different institutions in the Lisbon area: the Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica (ITQB), the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST: http://ist.utl.pt) and the Instituto Tenologico Nuclear (ITN: http://www.itn.pt). The head of the service is Prof. Teresa Duarte and each institute has a service responsible: Dr. Isabel Bento at ITQB, Prof. Teresa Duarte at IST and Dr. Isabel Santos at ITN. The service also has a technical adviser at ITQB, Dr Pedro Matias.Main goal:
- Determination of the three-dimensional structure of small molecules using single crystal X-ray diffraction
What we offer as a service:
| |
- advice on growing good
diffracting crystals suitable for data
collection; - evaluation of crystal quality and mounting of crystals, including air sensitive samples; |
| - determination of unit cell
parameters and space group; - data collection at room temperature with CuKα or MoKα, radiation using Bruker-Nonius CAD-4 diffractometers with a scintillation detector; |
 |
  |
- structure solution using the
powerful array of programs that are available; - structure refinement; - comprehensive analysis of the structural results; - preparation of results and molecular illustrations, in colour or black & white, for publication. |
